Thanks for letting us know we were wasting our time by voting with 3 chars per account, instead of you know actually giving out that information before voting started..
Also thanks for giving goons 240 free plex, good system you got there :P
Maybe next time you could just use the votes to sift the stories a little bit and then have CSM or CCP judges choose the best ones, instead of just rewarding the ones Mittani asked his 40000 minions to upvote. :P |

why, even some goon stories were thrown in the rubbish heap (they were bad)
They're both good stories to be fair, and I guess people should just be grateful goons didn't take all 5 prizes since they could very easily have done so.
It's just kinda gay that mittani could've posted a story about him taking a dump and it would still have won the "contest". |

It's unfortunate that we didn't state the fact that there is only one vote per account rather than character, but in retrospect we consider that more fair and to make more sense, than expecting everyone to go in and vote with all three characters on the stories they like.
You making this change in the rules is also pretty bullshit since now we have no way of knowing how many upvotes we actually have. (this actually matters)
So no it is not more fair (especially since some people already put in the work of voting multiple times on multiple accounts).
It does not make sense at all to make this change when voting has already been going on for a week.
Maybe CCP messed up by not having it 1 vote per account from start, but changing it now makes the fuckup worse, not better. |

I'm sure at least some of you already were doing so |

Don't think Soundwave was involved, and I seriously doubt t0rfi frans or any of the story people at CCP have any particular bias towards goons. |

i demand more stories about the thrill-a-minute life of the highsec nobody
I don't think anyone suggested he cheated in any way.
However his very success in EVE means what he actually wrote is mostly irrelevant since his upvotes come from his friends, and he's proven in the past he can get 10k votes if he wants to, which is 15x more votes than the most upvoted non-goon story.
Not sure I'd agree GoonSwarm is the most successful alliance in eve history..
I do think it's been the best organized alliance for a few years now tho |
